What are the benefits of a 3D/2D CAD Viewer?

Discover how you can gain insight from your product data without an expensive CAD license using Actify’s CAD Viewer.

A CAD Viewer is a cost effective application to enable information workers to perform investigative functions allowing the user to self-service and extract the data they require from a CAD model. This can include values of weight, size, surface area, part dimensions, in order to perform their job function most effectively without impacting precious engineering or technical resources.

Are you getting the most out of your CAD system?

Actify engage with many engineering and manufacturing organisations who recognise that their information workers within, but not limited to; procurement, management, sales & marketing departments can benefit from gaining access to more information contained within a CAD file. To solve for this need many IT managers have simply purchased additional licenses of their company’s expensive CAD authoring application of choice. However, if the user is not regularly using the application for its intended purpose (i.e. creating parts and geometry) then you’ll not effectively gain a return on this investment. For the nature of these job functions and use cases, a cost effective CAD Viewer would deliver more value to your organisation.

Lowering your costs Vs increasing your access to product data

Why can’t you have both? If you have a wealth of expensive CAD authoring applications inside your organisation you can increase you users access to data while lowering your costs, by optimising the ratio of CAD Viewers to CAD authoring applications across your organisation. Operational efficiencies can be gained by deploying an enterprise CAD viewing strategy. Enable information users to self-service their information requirements with a simple CAD Viewer and mitigate the impact on precious engineering or technical resources time associated with supporting information requests.
